Schoolhouse Rock Videos on YouTube!

[TheUnboundOne]

Dear Forum Members (Especially Homeschoolers),

Here below for the dining, dancing, singing, and learning pleasure of adults and children alike are all of the famous ABC Schoolhouse Rock videos that I could find on YouTube!

These are super cartoons back from a time when you could actually learn something good from television.

(One caveat to parents: You might want to put the video on full-screen and keep young kids from reading some of YouTube's notoriously raunchy adult comments.)

There's English:

"Conjunction Junction"

That's awesome! Thanks. I actually checked out a school house rock video from the local library to show my girls what I used to watch many moons ago. TOO COOL! 8)

[WileyCoyote]

Thank you, UnboundOne!!!
Those bring back memories of what we taught our kids!!!
They can still sing some of the songs!!!
LOL

[TheUnboundOne]

Dear Homesteadinginky and WileyCoyote and Forum Members,

I'm glad you two like them and I hope more like them too.

;D

I forgot to add "I'm Just A Bill" when I first posted, partially because I couldn't find a version with good audio and I got carried away with the rest of the videos. But I now found "I'm Just A Bill" and it is now up there under "Three Ring Government."

[WileyCoyote]

ROFL Unboundone! First thing hubby asked was, "Does he have "I'm just a Bill"?" It took me an hour to find it, too!

He can't get the song "Conjunction Junction" out of his head now.... ;D ;D ;D

[walls0stone]

thats' cool...see you don't need a TV any more. Just this little ol' 'Puter ;D

[cinok]

Oh a simpler time when saturday morning cartoons made sense

Dear WallsOstone,

Yep. You won't find me in the line for government cheese and digital converter boxes, no sir. As long as I can get YouTube or other Web 2.0 video services, I'm good.

:)

I get cable for free. The cable company has a deal with our family, free cable. they built a reciving center here in 1990, but removed it 8 years ago... To keep the contract open, they left a 3x3 block of the foundaton in our hay field.
YIPPY!

Some people watch all the latest shows bootleg on line. You can even watch Bootleg movies on your computer for free.

Remember Napster?? ;D
